It is everybody dream to manage their favorite sports team. Every time I see a soccer team getting crushed and the camera closes up to coach, owner, and the players I feel sad for them. It makes me think of never wanting to be on this situation, so I always imagine how I would run a team if I was the owner.
Soccer is a confusion sport because it is always changing. In the past it was played more on offense, but now defense is key because players are faster, dribble quicker, and shoot stronger. The same is happening in the business area because players are going up on value. One example is Ronaldinho a Brazilian soccer player when he was sold from PSG to Barcelona in 2003, it only cost 37 million euros, but now Brazilian player Neymar Jr. when he was sold from Barcelona to PSG in 2017, and it cost 220 million euros.
Since the players are expensive, I feel like battling in the market for this talents would not be a great idea. What I would do is find young prospects from every part of world to make my team a superpower. This works because last year an 18 year old player called Kylian Mbappe, won the World Cup being a starter 11 on all the games and sold for 180 million euros.
According, to retired soccer player and Coach Johan Cruyff, he stated this quote: “Why couldn’t you beat a richer club? I’ve never seen a bag of money score a goal”. Cruyff, establish this style of coaching and won a champions league in 1995, but now days no team does this. It would be awesome to bring this back because it is a way to find talents for cheap and selling them high to make the team successful.
